Turkish officials claim audio proves Saudis killed missing journalist

The Turkish government claims to have audio that proves journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, a report said.

U.S. and Turkish officials said that the recordings show that Khashoggi was detained by a security team on Oct. 2 when he entered the consulate to obtain documents for his upcoming wedding, according to the Washington Post.

The security team then killed and dismembered Khashoggi, the paper said.

“The voice recording from inside the embassy lays out what happened to Jamal after he entered,” an official told the paper.

“You can hear his voice and the voices of men speaking Arabic … You can hear how he was interrogated, tortured and then murdered.”
